JAKARTA - The action of an armed criminal group (KKB) burning the plane is not the first time. The separatist group has carried out similar actions.
"There have been frequent (burning planes, ed), there have been several times in 2016 if I'm not mistaken, yes," said Papuan Police Chief Inspector General Mathius D Fakhiri to reporters, Wednesday, February 8.
According to this two-star general, the burning of the plane had occurred in Papua Mountains. The worst happened in the Intan Jaya Regency, Central Papua and Puncak Regency, Central Papua.
"Previously there were also areas of the Mountains which were central points of security disturbances, this often happened like that," he said.
Not only burning planes, KKB also often spreads terror by destroying public facilities. They attacked and killed innocent civilians.
In fact, the existence of these facilities is very helpful, especially aircraft. Because, you can send basic materials to share areas.
"So for us, hopefully in the future, if the community, he loves his brothers and sisters on the mountain, don't interfere with flight service activities because it helps supply basic commodities to his area," said Mathius.
For information, the KKB Papua burned Susi Air's plane. In fact, they had taken the pilot of the plane hostage, Captain Philips.
Currently, the New Zealand national pilot is still in the process of being searched. Based on GPS, Captain Philips shifted 100 meters towards the inner Paro District.
